On Line Whiteboards

collaborative whiteboards are a new class of web tool, which let remote users interact over the web in real-time using a shared virtual whiteboard.

6 Ideal features, by Ken Thompson
1. real-time online workspace for posting of text, pictures and drawings

2. automatically save the whiteboards online or allow offline copies to be made

3. have a dedicated URL associated with each whiteboard which can be used to invite others to join - don't require people to be invited by email

4. the whiteboard owner should register but the system should not require people to login or register to access a whiteboard - it must be instant access

5. allow users to put in their names so that you can see who is contributing

6. allow an optional password to be associated with a whiteboard to allow open and private access

Wallwisher
(I think it meets all/most of the above criteria - not sure about #2. It allows you to customize the look, is very easy to use. I like that you can choose to see notes before they are posted on the wall. Irene)

Really like the simplicity of this app. Toggling between written and drawing appears to lose the picture momentarily which is kind of annoying. Overall I liked it and criteria above met.....Kevin
